Understanding IoT Battery Life Measurements

IoT devices have very complex power consumption behavior, and it is difficult to measure. To maximize battery life in your product, you need to understand why and how much battery charge is consumed for every action the IoT device performs. From sleep mode to measurement cycles, display cycles and RF data transmission, current consumption varies widely from micro amps to amps. This video will demonstrate some of these behaviors and discuss designers' options. There are tools available to make every part of this measurement challenge more simple, as shown in follow-up videos.
